** The whole song is played in D-Modal tuning (DADGAD) with blues picking **
[Intro]
Dm C Dm G Dm
[Verse]
Dm C Dm
Lord it‘s wrong to prey on the needy
Dm G Dm
How I hope that I am never on
Dm C Dm
That loses touch with the souls that surround me
Dm
I got my feet in the dirt
Dm G Dm
I get my heat from the sun
Dm C Dm
And I know there‘s a heartless among us
Dm G Dm
How it pains me to hear of the despair
Dm C Dm
Men in high places gonna talk of peace through violence
Dm
Fuelling enemies with weapons
Dm G Dm
As they strip each other bare
[Chorus]
G Dm
And I hope that peace will find us
G A
Even if I'm the only one
Dm C Dm
And I try, I try, to look towards the sky
Dm G Dm
But I fear that today, all my hope it is gone
[Instrumental]
Dm C Dm G Dm
[Verse]
Dm C Dm
Tell me Jesus where can I find the answers
Dm G Dm
Up on the hillsides or in the valleys below?
Dm C Dm
None of our leaders take heed of the warnings
Dm G Dm
Together we gonna gather and rise up as one
[Chorus]
G Dm
Life is more sacred than the dollar
G A
Fighting for freedom we‘ll pay a cost
Dm C Dm
Oh and I try, I try to look towards the sky
Dm G Dm
But I fear that today all my hope it is gone
[Outro]
Dm C Dm G Dm
